China-based Shandong Sun Paper Industry (Sun Paper) has selected Valmet to supply Valmet DNA automation systems for two paper machines.
Valmet will be responsible for the delivery of two systems, which are planned to be installed on Sun Paper’s paper machines PM 39 and PM 40.
The automation systems are expected to enable the two lines to increase availability, production efficiency and optimise operation. The Valmet DNA is single process automation and distributed control system.
